rustic paper towel holders

looking for ways to use scraps and stuff saved from the woodpile and came across this idea which was shared by another LJ member, first has oak base, second is walnut, both with manzanita uprights. manzanita grows here at the house and is very colorful hard wood. folks who like to eat outdoors should like these on the table. will go well with a messy barbecue, eh?
